Human embryonic stem cell line or hESC are also referred to as simply Embryonic stem cells. ES cells pertains to a pluripotent lineage of cells that are typically derived from a human embryo (after zygote) at its earliest stage.
Embryonic cells of the morular are totipotent. ES cells are considered very powerful in regenerative medicine since they can undergo cell division even without differentiation, which could go for extended periods,[3] and eventually develop into the cells composing the three germ layers.
All 3 of the previous ES cells typically require isolation from fetal or embryonic tissue. Some ES lines such as induced pluripotent cells however can now be can be cultured in our labs using special growth medium but are still very difficult to control during mesoderm production and the differentiation process.[2]
The Regeneration center of Thailand does not use Embryonic stemcell lines in any of its treatments. Our cell therapies use allogeneic or autologous Adult stem cells only.
